The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players are a self-described &#8220;indie-vaudeville-conceptual-art-rock-slideshow band,&#8221; who count among their fans Simpsons creator Matt Groening,  David Cross, Eugene Mirman, The White Stripes&#8217; Meg White, and director John Waters, who describes the band&#8217;s gigs as being &#8220;like The Lawrence Welk Show gone insane.&#8221;

They say if you can remember the ‘60s you weren’t there. Well, I don’t remember the ‘60s, although I’m pretty sure that doesn’t mean I was actually there. It’s hard to say, what with the possibilities of time travel, reincarnation, etc., etc.
I did, however, grow up listening to the Woodstock soundtrack. In fact, it was [...]]]></description>

Blues legend Robert Johnson&#8217;s music has always been kind of spooky. If you sell your soul to the devil to achieve guitar mastery, you&#8217;re going to have your share of demons.
This macabre fan-made video for &#8220;Me And The Devil Blues&#8221; (which Johnson recorded in Dallas, Texas in 1937) works it&#8217;s own kind of spooky magic. [...]]]></description>

When I was a kid I was obsessed with the movie 1969. Critically panned but, to a young man&#8217;s mind, critically flawless, it had Kiefer Sutherland, Robert Downey Jr., and Winona Ryder in it. They spend their time arguing with their parents, living in a van, and trying to decide what to do about the [...]]]></description>

Summer in the city means concerts, concerts, concerts. Unless you’re in a Regina Spektor song, then it means “cleavage, cleavage, cleavage.” But this is a family magazine. For me, the whole season kicked off with a trip to Jones Beach to see Phish. After the band broke up in 2004, I was bummed; I’d never [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Misunderstood&#8221;
Band: Wilco
Album: Being There (1996)
Key lyric: &#8220;When you&#8217;re back in your old neighborhood/the cigarettes taste so good/but you&#8217;re so misunderstood.&#8221;
&#8220;Misunderstood&#8221; is the alpha and omega of Wilco songs, the holy grail. Some may prefer Jeff Tweedy&#8217;s more surrealistic masterpieces over the relative simplicity of &#8220;Misunderstood,&#8221; the six-and-a-half minute dirge that kicks off Being There. But [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Ashes of American Flags&#8221;
Band: Wilco
Album: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002)
Co-Writer: Jay Bennett
Key lyric: &#8220;I wonder why we listen to poets, when nobody gives a fuck/How hot and sorrowful, this machine begs for luck.&#8221;
The emotional centerpiece of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot features some of Jeff Tweedy&#8217;s all-time finest lyrics. Each  verse is an individual nugget of gold, packed [...]]]></description>
